Sometimes I find it a bit difficult to decide: on the one hand, knowing myself, I don't want to fall into the trap of always choosing the easy option, and leaving the one that involves more effort to the last minute. On the other hand, I don't want to dedicate too many hours to a single thing when I also want to make progress on others. And also, I know that as soon as I start doing any of them, time will very likely fly...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what can I do? Well, keep balancing as best as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way I've figured out for the moment is setting up a weekly plan. On Sundays, I write down a task list for the following week, including X yoga sessions (replaceable by walks on days when the weather is nice), the course exercises, the blog posts, etc. I'm not assigning specific days for each task, I simply get to them as I see fit during the week, and tick them off (and oh how good it feels to tick off a task!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That way I add more intention to my days, I make progress in all the areas I want, I can adapt to unforeseen events or take a break if I need to one day, and given that there's usually a bit more free time during the weekend, there's also the chance to finish certain things if I haven't been able to finish them earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far this my second week using this system, and of course I know that I won't always complete everything. But I think it's very useful as a reference, and it helps me to keep making progress, which at the end of the day is what matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you? How do you find balance?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfOs ha pasado alguna vez que el d\u00eda se os queda corto? \u00bfQue ya se os ha hecho de noche y ten\u00e9is a\u00fan una lista de cosas que os gustar\u00eda hacer? \u00bfY que os cuesta elegir qu\u00e9 hacer hoy y qu\u00e9 dejar para otro d\u00eda?
